Margaret (Oliveri) Trimarchi, age 90, of Wilmington, died at home surrounded by her loving family on August 21, 2014.

Margaret was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 6, 1924; she was the cherished only daughter of the late Salvatore and Domenica (Micali) Oliveri.

Margaret married the “love of her life” Letterio Trimarchi in 1941; they shared more than 60 years together and raised a beautiful family. Margaret and Letterio moved to Wilmington also known as “the country” in 1954. It was at their Wilmington home that they enjoyed their Sunday gatherings of family and extended family from all over; Margaret was a great cook and there was always lots of food and fun at their home.

Family was first and foremost to Margaret, she was not only a devoted wife and mother but an exceptional “Noni” to her three generations of grandchildren; it was “all about family” in her eyes and she cherished the times spent together.

In her spare time, Margaret enjoyed cooking, baking, and was known to be a talented seamstress.

Margaret will be remembered for her unconditional love and support as well as her kindness to others. She was a remarkable lady who will be greatly missed.
